AYMELINE

It's rare that a brunette can so naturally become a blonde. Newly(ish) toe-headified Aymeline looks like she was born blonde.

FRENCH GIRL'S GIRL GARANCE

2015-12-17T12:56:00.000-05:00

I’m thinking it might be fun to start blogging again to help avoid the winter blues. So i signed into good ol’ bloglovin to see what i’ve been missing these past 10 months away (thank gawd for “saved passwords”). . . A new post by Parisian favorite Garance Dore caught my eye so down the rabbit hole i went.

Reading her “between the posts” commentary about her instagram feed photos was exactly the inspiration I needed.

Garance is silly, self-depricating, and stylish as hell. I’ve loved watching her career take off and really really enjoy the way she writes. Her stream of consciousness posts (translated from French?!), including cross-outs and clickable references, brighten my day. . . this can’t be said for many other fashion blogs which inevitably make me feel fat and boring.

RACKK & RUIN X THREAD MAGAZINE

2014-12-29T14:17:00.002-05:00

I was totally honored to be interviewed by Thread Magazine this month! Click HERE to read the full article.

Molly Conant may be the daughter of Steve Conant, founder and owner of Conant Metal & Light on Pine Street. And she may be the successful one-woman force behind Rackk & Ruin, a jewelry collection made from vintage metals and other materials. But she did not break into the metalworking world in the linear, familial fashion that one might expect.

“I started with that and I wore a version of it to work, and enough of my coworkers and customers were excited about it that I was like ‘oh, you would want me to make you one of these for money?’” she says. “When I discovered how much I loved working with my hands and making jewelry, it just clicked. It’s a pretty easy world to break into and learn as you go.”

Conant’s aesthetic is simple and clean, favoring long necklace lines or graceful earrings with antique typeface numbers. The effect is vintage but not stuffy, making her pieces wearable but still inimitable, a hard balance to strike in a world saturated with Etsy crafters and DIY tutorials. For example, her latest material obsession is with antique French meter sticks.

“I hope to cast them in narrow wedding band-type rings,” she says.

Thank you Liz Cantrell, Damir Alisa and Caroline Cadieux!
